[Amps] SB220 on 120V

[Roger (K8RI)]

10A is pushing your luck.  That's 1200 Watts total on that circuit and 
the wire for a 10A circuit will give plenty of voltage drop under load. 
All my 120 VAC circuits are either 15A, or 30A with appropriate size 
wire.  The 30A circuit feed a 3 KVA true sine wave line conditioner/UPS. 
The last power interruption dropped the computers on the regular UPS, 
but those on the line conditioner didn't even blink.

If you are in rental property, another line would be a problem, but a !) 
circuit feeding only an SB220 will likely be a problem too.
